BXBX NOVEL Chapter 222 - 221: Holographic Simulator
If the system had been available 500 years earlier, Jiang Li would have frequented its store often, as the items within it greatly benefit cultivation.
However, the system was delayed by 500 years, which meant that whatever the store had, Jiang Li already possessed. Even things the store didn’t carry, such as the cultivation insights of the most powerful Human Emperor, Jiang Li had.
That said, the system’s store did have its uses from time to time, such as sparing Jiang Li the trouble of traveling to other worlds directly and online shopping for refined Immortal Artifacts instead.
Or, for instance, buying a Stele left behind by the Ancestor of Dao from the store.
When buying the Dao Ancestor’s Stele, Jiang Li only gave the store interface a cursory glance, not paying it much mind.
Upon opening the store interface again, he indeed discovered some new items.
[Skyflight Brand Holographic Simulator]
Jiang Li frowned. Ming Zhong Continent had holographic simulation glasses, which were divided into all-ages and 18+ models.
Instinctually feeling that something was off about this Skyflight Brand
Holographic Simulator, he purchased it and surely enough found an issue.
The manual for this simulator didn’t use the script of the Ming Zhong Continent.
That is to say, this simulator wasn’t from the Ming Zhong Continent. “It seems this world does genuinely have indigenous human tribes.” Jiang Li found evidence.
He continued to search for clues.
[Dictionary (Goule Civilization Edition)]
“So this world does have a civilization called Goule.”
Jiang Li bought the dictionary and, following the language rules, soon mastered the Goule civilization’s language with the aid of his mighty divine sense and spirit platform.
“The packaging on the simulator uses the Goule script too.” Jiang Li gave the packaging a quick once over.
“Innovative product from Skyflight Company, featuring a hundred and eighty patents, nationally recognized, winner of seventy-two interstellar prizes, no side effects. It allows users to fully immerse in the virtual world.”
“This product includes information leap technology, allowing for information transmission in both Hydrogen Star System or Helium Star System, with no delay!”
“In the Virtual World, you can be a god who can do anything!”
“Virtual World, Your World.”
“Skyflight Company, making your life better.”
After a while, Jiang Li realized that only items related to the Goule civilization were present implying that aside from them and the Ming Zhong, only the Goule civilization existed in the Ming Zhong World.
“Here, I found something good.” Jiang Li handed Bai Hongtu the dictionary and the holographic simulator.
Bai Hongtu was considering whether to gather all the Body Integration Realms in Nine Provinces, looking for the indigenous human tribes of this world together, when he was interrupted by Jiang Li.
“Where did this come from?” Bai Hongtu was surprised. There weren’t any life-bearing planets located yet, so how had things been found?
“I gained some enlightenment on the Dao of Space and found them in an unknown place.”
Bai Hongtu didn’t ask any further and began to study these two items.
“The packaging mentions a company address, but the problem is, who knows where 28 Peace Street, Yongfeng City, Hydrogen Star System is?”
“There should be a way to find it.”
Jiang Li pointed at the information leap tech on the packaging, “You should’ve heard of this technology on the Ming Zhong Continent, although it’s still theoretical. ”
“I remember it being described as a way to establish a spatial channel for information flow, some form of the Dao of Space in another sense.”
“This holographic simulator is still operational; you get my drift, right?”
“You mean, we should power up the holographic simulator and follow the information flow to find the attendant?”
With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Li corrected him: “That’s not called an attendant; it’s called a server.”
“You’re absolutely right; it is called a server. I have to admit, you comprehend technological knowledge way better. ” “Well, that’s just high school science education.” “What’s a high school science education?”
“Nothing important.”
The holographic simulator consisted of two small metallic strips, which according to the instructions, had to be placed on the temples. The weak current from the metallic strips helps the user fall asleep fast to connect them to the server.
“How could this device operate without energy?” Bai Hongtu was confused.
“It uses bioelectricity.” With a more detailed instruction manual inside the packaging, Jiang Li flipped through it to explain to Bai Hongtu.
Even though he too had no idea how bioelectricity could serve as energy.
Jiang Li suggested, “The manual states that one cannot connect to the server immediately after activation. The user has to perform an operation for the connection. So, I’ll operate this thing, and you trace it through the spatial channel to find it. Once you find it, wake me up.”
Bai Hongtu readily agreed, “No problem. But I’m not quite familiar with technology. Perhaps I might misunderstood this, but it seems to me that the simulator is for transmitting one’s divine sense to the server. Your divine sense is too massive, and the server might not be able to handle it. I suggest you control your divine sense.”
“Makes sense.”
The metal strips attached to the temples, the faint electrical current discharged, which had no effect on Jiang Li.
“Well… I can fall asleep on my own.” Jiang Li fell fast asleep, allocating a fraction of his divine sense.
In the cosmos, a man lied peacefully with his eyes closed in the vacuum of space, another man stood solemnly, as if on a mission, also floating in space.
It was as if they were performing some eerie religious ritual Bai Hongtu was the officiant while Jiang Li was the offering.
“Welcome to Skyflight Brand Holographic Simulator, please choose your nickname.”
“Jiang Li.”
“This nickname has already been taken.” “Human Emperor. ” “This nickname has already been taken.”
“Jiang Human Emperor.”
“This nickname has already been taken.” “Heavenly Demons are all blighters.”
“Welcome ‘Heavenly Demons are all blighters’.”
“…Does your company even allow foul language as nicknames?”
“Our company aims to let customers enjoy this simulator with high freedom. Please select your avatar. You can choose to customize one or use your original appearance.”
“Use original appearance.”
“Do you choose to be active in the Big World or your Personal World?” “What do you mean by Big World?”
“The Big World refers to the world that all players can enter. You can chat, make friends, and complete missions in this world, among others.”
“And the Personal World?”
“The Personal World is your own world. You can freely decide its looks. You can directly remodel it based on reality or create it from the very beginning of the universe, creating the world of your dreams.”
“Enter the Big World.” Jiang Li figured he could chat with the people of the Goule civilization through the simulator before he approached them.
“Is this the Big World?” Jiang Li was a bit surprised. He thought the Big World would be a world filled with fantastical creatures—knights, dragons, demon lords, and the like.
It turned out that the Big World was a world of technology.
People in the Big World glanced at Jiang Li and couldn’t help but mention,
“Heavenly Demons are all blighters?”
Jiang Li looked up and found a line of bright characters displaying his nickname hanging over his head.
“Hide nickname.”
The text above his head disappeared.
“You look like a newbie. It’s been a while since we’ve had a newbie.” A handsome middle-aged man saw Jiang Li in his rookie attire and approached him enthusiastically.
The middle-aged man had a certain rugged charm that was particularly attractive to some young girls yet to step into society.
Since faces are customized, everyone in the Big World is handsome or gorgeous. Jiang Li, who used his original appearance, stood out due to his plainness amidst the crowd.
“Is it too late for me to customize my face now?”
